World of English
Both have and have got are used to talk about illnesses as well as possession (things we own), relationships (e.g. family
members) and characteristics (e.g. brown eyes). Have got is more common in British English and have is more common
in American English, although both are used and understood everywhere English is spoken. The two versions are formed
differently in questions and negatives:
I’ve got a pet rabbit. / I have a pet rabbit.
Have you got a girlfriend? / Do you have a girlfriend?
I haven’t got any money. / I don’t have any money.
Be careful: have got can’t be used in every situation and tense that you can use have, for example: I had an accident,
NOT I’d got an accident, and you can’t use contractions with have like I’ve a car.

Four seasons or two?


Countries with a temperate climate, like the ones in
Europe and North America, have four very defined seasons:
hot summers in June, July and August; cold winters
in December, January and February , with heavy snow
in some countries; cool, windy autumns in September,
October and November and warm springs in March ,
April and May .
In contrast, tropical regions, especially around the
equator, have only two seasons: the dry season and the
rainy season. So, in places like India, West Africa, Central
America, the north of South America and the north coast of
Australia, the rainy season is in their winter ( June ,
July and August ), and it’s accompanied by very high
temperatures.

Storm Chasers is a TV programme about teams of people who


travel around 700,000 square miles of the American Great Plains
every spring, when tornadoes are very common. What’s their
objective? To go inside a tornado, document everything… and survive!

1 A storm is very strong fog / wind and rain / sun.


2 A chaser is a person / object / machine who is trying to capture something.
3 A plain is a large area of flat / snowy / high land.

6 Missouri 4   a storm chaser
7 Bob Dylan 3   their vehicle’s weight

What’s happening in tonight’s episode?


Today the teams of meteorologists are studying the weather conditions in Tuscaloosa,
Alabama. They’re reporting a really strong tornado (class 5) for tomorrow morning. Team
leader Reed says, ‘Tomorrow we’re helping to evacuate a population of about 2,000 inhabitants
and we’re filming all the action. I can’t wait!’ The teams can go right inside tornadoes in their
special 14,000-pound vehicle, Dominator. It’s an exciting and very dangerous profession – it
takes a lot of courage to be a storm chaser.
After that, they have to decide what to cut to make the programme. And then, next week,
they’re travelling to Missouri to chase more tornadoes and answer their big questions: What
happens in the centre of a tornado? How can we predict or stop them? Well, as Bob Dylan
sings, ‘The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind!’

Is it impossible for two people to share wardrobe space?


Escriba el texto aquí
Posted by Victoria Zuylen
Not impossible, but difficult. At home it’s only me and my husband.
My clothes are always organised, but his are not! Sometimes we have
problems, but I usually just ignore my husband’s part.

Posted by Kyle
I confess: I’ve got more clothes than my wife, so my wardrobe is
enormous and hers is not. Our children are not very organised, but
they tidy their wardrobes – I never look at theirs! My son’s is full of
sport equipment too – balls, rackets, skis, etc. Horrible!

Posted by Tanya
In my house, we don’t say ‘mine’ or ‘yours’. Everything is ours. Our
Angie wardrobe is small but clean and organised. We share space and clothes.
We occasionally have a discussion like this: ‘Whose jumper is this?’ ‘It’s
yours!’ ‘No, it’s yours!’ A big advantage of living with your twin sister!

Use the present continuous for actions in progress now. When is he / she running that marathon?
Where is it raining now?
Contractions
I’m watching the news on TV. We often use contractions in questions and responses.
It’s snowing. What’s she doing?
In sentences, contract the subject + verb be. She’s watching the weather forecast.
You’re not listening. = You aren’t listening.
She’s not sleeping. = She isn’t sleeping.

We usually buy food after work. We’re not going to the market today. (breaking routine)
I go to the university. I’m working on my maths project. (developing)
Use the present simple for a daily habit, routine, facts, or scheduled events.
Use the present continuous for an action happening at the moment or a break in a routine. We also use it to describe long processes
in progress that aren’t necessarily happening right now, e.g., I’m working on a degree in Computing (but I’m not studying today).
Adverbs of frequency and time phrases can help you decide when to use present continuous or present simple.

Present simple Present continuous


always, sometimes, usually, often, every day, at the moment, at this moment, just, right
occasionally, never, first, next, then now, just now, now, still
Verbs for emotion, senses or mental states
These verbs are not used in present continuous. Use the present simple.
Note: People sometimes use the phrase ‘I’m loving it!’ in informal conversation.

Correct Incorrect
He believes you. He’s believing you.
She doesn’t understand. She’s not understanding.
They like this party. They’re liking this party.
Do you remember everything? Are you remembering everything?
Do you remember everything?
More verbs for emotion, senses or mental states:
adore, appear, be, believe, dislike, hate, have, know, like, look, love, mean, prefer, remember, see, seem, smell, sound, surprise, understand, want.
